I was a bit disappointed yesterday that we didn't see any kangaroos. I thought they'd be popping about all over the place. But today we saw these guys as soon as we drove out of the hotel. I've yet to see one jumping though!
We did the driving touristy bit this morning - Margaret River, Augusta, some lighthouse or other - the sea is the most beautiful aquamarine and inland there are just acres of vines. The driving is very relaxing, not that I've done any personally of course, but the roads are great and very quiet.
We thought we should 'do' a vineyard (well it would be rude not to) so chose Vasse Felix which was the first in the area. So to spit or swallow? Well the latter of course! You only get a couple of sips per glass and as we only did the one vineyard we were allowed to taste them properly (or not so properly if you're a wine buff I guess). If you sampled at all 100+ vineyards though you would be in trouble! I can heartily recommend the Vasse Felix Semillon 2005 (Robert wasn't too impressed with the Shiraz though!)
